Scoring Format

In the event teams have accumulated an equal number of points at end of pool play, the tiebreak factors to determine seeding are: 1) head to head; 2) least number of goals against; 3) most goals scored; 4) overall number of periods won; 5) least penalty minutes; 6) fastest goal scored in all games played; 7) coin flip.

Overtime for seed round: 1) one 5-minute, sudden death period; 2) 5-player shootout; 3) sudden death victory shootout. A player ending the overtime period in the penalty box cannot participate in the shootout.

General Tournament Information

The Cedar Rapids Ice Arena features two sheets of ice, one Olympic-sized and one NHL-sized and operates two Zambonis.

The ice arena offers skate sharpening, however the booth is not manned at all hours of operation. It’s best to allow plenty of time if a player needs skates sharpened before a game. Skate laces and mouth guards are generally not stocked.

Parking will be extremely limited on nights when the USHL RoughRiders play at home.

Refer to the ice arena page for information about restaurants and lodging near the rink.
